There are many tools out there, which diagnostics tools are good for diagnostic memory leak issues for node.js applications?
回答1:
Yes, IDDE is a powerful tool not only for memory leak detection, but for a wide variety of problem determination of Node.js misbehaviors, including crashes and hangs.
Here is the link for overview, installation, and what is new information: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/tools/idde
- I would start with nodeoverview command. Note that every command starts with a bang (!) and every command is entered with a control (ctrl+enter) for reasons.
!nodeoverview {
Heap and Garbage Collection
Memory allocator, used: 981 MB, available: 482 MB GC Count: 144
This shows up the occupancy of the heap.
Then, use jsmeminfo to figure out the predominent resident objects in the heap.
!jsmeminfo {
Memory allocator, used: 981 MB, available: 482 MB Total Heap Objects: 21559924

Review the application based on this information and see they holding up the memory as shown is justified or not.
If you want to 'dissect' the objects further to see the content, use object expansion commands such as !jsobject or !array:
!array 0x00000000de06d319 {
Array type : FIXED_ARRAY_TYPE Len : 16387 Showing first 100 elements only 0 : 0xd9400000000 (SMI) 1 : 0x3fe00000000 (SMI) 2 : 0x400000000000 (SMI) 3 : 0x9a1103d1 (ASCII_INTERNALIZED_STRING_TYPE : !print 0x000000009A1103D1 ) 4 : 0x9a1042a9 (ASCII_INTERNALIZED_STRING_TYPE : !print 0x000000009A1042A9 ) ... }
If you want to 'segregate' the entire heap into sections based on object's internal types, user jsgroupobjects. This is more useful when you have multiple dumps taken at different time intervals, and want to compare which objects grew over time.

回答2:
module https://www.npmjs.com/package/appmetrics but it is more for monitoring and profiling. You can check it out, it is useful.
